Words are eternal
I haven't posted in a while because I've been too dark. I decided to drive up to Ojai — my favorite place on earth — to get right with myself, and God. There's something magical up here in these mountains.
I just read a post from one of my favorite authors, Hugh Howey, regarding the self-publishing industry. I was so inspired by his words that I had to write a new post. He's the reason I decided to Read more of this blog post »

Nancy Peacock:
Actually I'd given up on writing. I was discouraged. Every book seemed to wring me out emotionally and because they were not huge successes in the publishing world, I wondered if I should keep on. I was empty. Nothing creative was going on for me, bu

Nancy Peacock:
Mostly I think the inspiration comes from not feeling too pushed about it. I hate deadlines because they take creative control out of my hands and put a date on it, a date that does not always allow me to back away from the work and then come forward

The best thing for me is discovery. I love working on a novel that really interests me. I love research and often find unique details that contribute to the story, so there's that discovery. But the discovery that is the most exciting is the story it

Kristin Hannah
shared a note and highlight from
Firefly Lane (Firefly Lane #1)
by
Kristin Hannah (Goodreads Author)
That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours.
There's little surprise that this is the sentiment used in Netflix's trailer for Firefly Lane, the series. It is the very heart of the novel. Real friends are in for the long haul. That's not always pretty, and it doesn't come without some ups and downs, but it is the foundation of friendship.
